Dershowitz, Alan M. America Declares Independence. Hoboken, N. J: John Wiley & Sons, 2003.
Print.
 This book discusses the theology, history, and political theories surroundings the Declaration of Independence. Several published writings and letters of Franklin, Jefferson, and others are presented in the book. The interesting thing about the book is how it explored the idea that the men who fought for, authored, and amended the Declaration of Independence did not have establishing a Christian nation in mind. The author presented data showing that the values of the Orthodox Christian Church are all rejected by Thomas Jefferson. Also, it explores on the concept that equality, and not slavery, is the purpose of the Declaration. Dershowitz presented data supporting the idea that Jefferson rejects the concept of slavery and supports the “ secular humanist” concept. It is controversial, challenging, and disturbing, because it requires readers to rethink their opinions regarding the Declaration
